RALEIGH, N.C. -- President Barack Obama, on the defensive and acknowledging the rising protests against his health-care efforts, took some of the sharpest jabs yet at his opponents, accusing them of rallying opposition with scare tactics and hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman conceded the House wouldn't vote on a health-care plan before its August recess. But Mr. Waxman said that his committee will resume meetings on health-care legislation Wednesday after reaching an agreement with conservative Democrats on the committee that included a delayed vote.
Mr. Obama spent much of a town-hall meeting here trying to gain back his footing on the health-care debate. He mocked some Americans who say, "I don't want socialized medicine, and by the way, don't take away my Medicare," saying that Medicare and the Veterans Administration have been operating "government run" health care with relatively high rates of approval from their clientele.
"Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care. I have been as clear as I can be," he protested. "These folks need to stop scaring everybody."
And he blasted Republicans for passing a prescription drug benefit for Medicare without offsetting spending cuts or tax increases, then complaining to him about his fiscal discipline.
"I'm now president, so I'm responsible for solving [the deficit], but we shouldn't have selective memory here," he said. "You handed me a $1.3 trillion bill, and now, six months later you're complaining because we haven't paid it all back."
In strikingly defensive terms, the president acknowledged opposition is growing. A large and boisterous clutch of protesters greeted him at Raleigh's Needham B. Broughton High School with signs reading, "Obamacare is Socialism," "Stop Lying," and "Politicians + Health Care = Disaster."

You just can't make this stuff up, Zer0 is getting rattled.
Boo hoo! He created this mess and now he wants to cut and run when the heat’s going up.
LOL, the long version of ‘We won!’.
I suspect he will be over the edge by Christmas.
It’s like Hitler hailing his extermination plans as a step forward.

“Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care. I have been as clear as I can be,” he protested. “These folks need to stop scaring everybody.”
I.e., believe me, not your lying eyes.
Obama, four words: Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.
Whining little bitch.
We handed him a 1.3 trillion bill and now, six months later, we owe 3.1 trillion?
Did he really say that? OMG. He is losing it. He doesnt even look presidential anymore (not that he ever did) but now he just looks stoopid.
Dogpile on the rabbit! Dogpile on the rabbit!
Exactly!
I especially liked when 0bama said... “We’re losing jobs at nearly half the rate we were when I took office six months ago.”
O is a pathetic racist marxist whore. He is not POTUS material.
He is a bald faced liar and he will bring this country down in any way possible.
This dumb@ss is having another ‘townhall’ today??
Maybe Obama can explain why he's forcing massive government regulations on insurance companies if it's not a government takeover?
He also said that the Government wasn't interested in owning a car company but now they own 70% of GM.
